Since its establishment in 2011, the National Nine City Art Exhibition has gone through fourteen years of spring and autumn. Looking back at the past eleven sessions, the National Nine City Art Exhibition has witnessed the birth of countless outstanding works and the rise of numerous calligraphy and painting talents, and has become a representative and influential professional exhibition in the national art world. Wang Qi, Executive Director of Sichuan Era Culture and Art Co., Ltd. and Lifetime Honorary Advisor of the National Nine City Art Exhibition, witnessed the 14 year development process of the National Nine City Exhibition. He recalled that in 2011, with the original intention of educating the public, nine urban newspapers including Modern Express jointly initiated the establishment of the National Nine City Art Exhibition. The National Nine Cities Art Exhibition not only witnessed the prosperity of the Chinese art market, but also experienced the ups and downs of the art market. Over the past fourteen years, with the support of artists from nine cities, we have held more than one hundred offline art exhibitions, allowing audiences to understand and enjoy the beauty of art. Through countless reports from nine urban newspapers and media outlets, we have spread culture and art even further
